Wholesale lease options with real estate agent

[Jacob Cunningham]

let’s say I want to begin wholesaling, maybe even wholesaling lease options. Can I work with a real estate agent? How would they be compensated for their time and effort? Could I have them handle a portion of the deal with the seller and end buyer for me? Would this be a JV between me and the agent? I would like an agents representation to avoid any legal grey areas and to network as well.
